That's right, Huntington Beach. Because Newsom is pushing 12 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: this special election in November to redraw the congressional districts 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: because he wants to get rid of six Republican congress 14 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: people in this state. And but but he's got to 15 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,639 Speaker 1: go through a whole machination about it. We've been talking 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: about it, and we'll explain it again later in the 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: show in case you're not familiar. But we also have 18 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: a really infuriating clip of this psychopathic liar to play 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: as well. That's all going to come up around three o'clock. 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: But this is going how much money is missing? You 21 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: remember how much money is missing from the homeless budget 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles? 23 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: Two billion was a billion or billion? 24 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, two billion dollars and it's it's Karen Baths, right, 25 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: she blew the two billion dollars. And that's why maybe 26 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm the only person who gets gets crazy about this stuff. 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: But I've seen in the last week two news articles 28 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: that suggested that Karen Bass is on some kind of 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: a comeback because she was seen yelling at ice ICE agents, right, 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: and so she's regained her footing, you know, she's firmed 31 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: up her position. And I'm thinking, because she yelled at 32 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: ICE agents, I keep, you know, want to raise my 33 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: hand from the back of the room and go, how 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: about the two billion that disappeared? Really is completely unaccounted for? 35 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: And this is a federal audit from a well, this 36 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: is an audit mandated by a federal District court judge 37 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: David Carter, And yeah, nobody, nobody's found the money. And 38 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: Carter wanted Karen Bass to come and testify about the 39 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: whole homeless scam that she oversees, and presumably there will 40 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: be a lot of questions about where the two billion 41 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: dollars in missing money went. Okay, this is the mayor 42 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: of the city of Los Angeles, and somehow she lost 43 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: track of two billion dollars. It's astounding. And that's why 44 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: the coverage of her yelling at the ice agents, it 45 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: just just makes me crazy. But I'm a feeling I'm 46 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: the only one. Well, here's another little wiggle in the case. 47 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: Do you remember she hired a law firm. She had 48 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: her own city attorneys, but she hired a law firm 49 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: called Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, LLB. And they sent nine 50 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: attorneys into the courtroom when Bass was supposed to testify, 51 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: and they argued for a long time that she shouldn't 52 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: have to testify, and they made it clear that they 53 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: were going to interfere and appeal the hell out of 54 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: any order that would require her to speak. And they 55 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: were so effective that the plaintiffs in this case, and 56 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: the plaintiffs they're called La Alliance, and they're a collection 57 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: of businesses and citizens who want the home money spent properly, 58 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: and instead Bass flushed two billion away and won't talk 59 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: about it. So the judge says, well, Bass has got 60 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: to come in. Well, Gibson done, and Crutcher threw up 61 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: all kinds of interference, and eventually the LA Alliance the 62 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: PLANEFF said, oh, forget about it. This is going to 63 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: take months and months. We'd rather move on. Well, now 64 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: the bill has come through. You know how much, You 65 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: know how much city taxpayers like you live and work 66 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: in La City taxpayers, you have to pay one point 67 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: eight million dollars to cover the legal bill. And I said, 68 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: there were nine attorneys in the courtroom that day. Actually 69 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: they had fifteen working on the case. There were nine 70 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: in the courtroom that day, fifteen working on the case. 71 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: They each bill thirteen hundred dollars an hour. So you 72 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: got thirteen hundred dollars an hour times fifteen, and it 73 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: came to one hundred and forty thousand dollars a day, 74 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: thirteen days, one point eight million, just to keep Karen 75 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Bass from testifying about the missing two billion. Now, I 76 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: assume that the plaintiffs had insisted, and I wish they had, 77 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: maybe some three six months down the road, this would 78 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: have happened, good lord, one point eight million dollars of 79 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: our tax money to shield her from explaining where the 80 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: two billion went. That's just that's that's so that's so aggravating. 81 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: That is so wrong, it really is. In the end, 82 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: the judge said the city did not follow the terms 83 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: of an agreement that made three years ago with La 84 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: Alliance because La Alliance had gotten an agreement that you know, 85 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: they would create about thirteen thousand homeless beds. I now, 86 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: they were not only trying to keep Bass from testifying, 87 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: they were trying to get out of the legal obligation 88 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: to supply the thirteen thousand beds because you know, they 89 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: once they blew the two billion dollars, right, what are 90 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: they going to do to build the homeless beds? Right? 91 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: The money's gone already. And I am just out of 92 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: my mind that this doesn't lead to her immediate dismissal 93 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: as mayor, I mean absolute should be, should be forced 94 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: out of office. But we can't even get her questioned, 95 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: and she doesn't care and she probably can't don't even 96 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: count anyway. One point eight million. And what they did 97 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: to some of the witnesses during some of the testimony 98 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: is the these nine attorneys would constantly interrupt and yell objection, objection, objection, 99 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: hundreds of times so that nobody could follow the case, 100 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: nobody could follow the conversation or what the issue was, 101 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: which really is a stupid way to conduct a hearing. 102 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,119 Speaker 1: I mean that that that's just ridiculously obnoxious. I can't 103 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: believe there's there isn't some legal restraint for that kind 104 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: of Well, I guess that's up to the judge to 105 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: tell them to knock it off. But man, one point 106 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: eight million dollars on fifteen attorneys for less than two weeks, 107 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: and she never had to explain where the two billion yet. 108 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: And you want her reelection, you want her running the Olympics. 109 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: You want this lady running the Olympics. No wonder. You 110 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: know some people are pissed off that Trump is taking over. Well, 111 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: of course he's taking over. Look at her, Look at her. 112 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: Unbelievable when we come back. Another thing I've been yelling 113 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: at out for a long time. Uh, you know, eleven 114 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: percent of the water in the state goes to almonds. 115 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: I just had some almonds today. Actually they were quite delicious. 116 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: Well you're part of the problem, okay, Yeah, eleven of 117 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: all all the water that's available goes to almond farmers. 118 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: There's a very wealthy family in Beverly Hills. They are 119 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: the King and Queen of almonds, and they use just untold. 120 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how many millions or billions of gallons 121 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: of water and three quarters of the almonds are sent 122 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: to China anyway. But well, the almond farms are under attack. 123 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: Oh no, yes, one of the ways I get my protein. 124 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: Oh, you will never eat another almond. After I'm done 125 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: telling you this story, you'll see Do you know this story? 126 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: No? 127 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: I don't. 128 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: Oh, okay, well tell I can't wait when we come back. 129 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 130 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 4: six forty. 131 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: Moistline is going to be three o'clock, three o'clock twice. 132 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna do three twenty and three fifty and you 133 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: can follow us at social on social media John Cobelt 134 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Radio at John Cobelt Radio. All right, the uh, the 135 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: almonds almonds, and I get this way whenever whenever they're 136 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: supposedly a water shortage, you know, we have a drought 137 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: or so they claim for a couple of years, and 138 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: then they want to start restricting water. Because I noticed 139 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: with the fires burning, they're starting the drum beat again. Well, 140 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, we only had eight inches of rain in 141 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: southern California, abnormally dry and climate change and all, you know, 142 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: just the same old song they start singing. And uh, 143 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, if we have another dry winner, it's gonna 144 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: be a drought. We're gonna with water shortages. And so 145 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of on my mind. And then I saw 146 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: this story. Now most most people don't know this that 147 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: almond farms take eleven percent of our available water of 148 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: the state of California, eleven percent, and the government lets 149 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: them do it because almond is a big crop. They 150 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: sell to China. Seventy five percent of almonds end up 151 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: in China. Well, the almond crop is in danger this year. 152 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: Almond orchards all across the San Joaquin Valley are dealing 153 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: with a massive rat infestation. Oh yes, three hundred million 154 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: dollars worth of crop losses and infrastruct your damage. The 155 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: Almond Board of California. These are almond growers from Merced 156 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: to kerrn County, which I believe is the path of 157 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: the high speed rail train. Roof rats they're chewing through 158 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: the irrigation lines, they're stripping bark from the branches of 159 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: the almond trees, and they're eating the nuts. They're eating 160 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: the almond nuts, said one wildlife advisor. We live in 161 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: an infinite sea of rats. They're everywhere. So that's who's 162 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: rummaging through your almonds right. 163 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 2: Now, Maybe not mine. 164 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: An infinite sea of rats. Does that sound disgusting? The 165 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: rats are no longer confined to their traditional nests in 166 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: the trees. They're burrowing underground, especially in orchards with they 167 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: have a limited groundcover in the winter, and so you 168 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: can't detect and control them. And they're running through the 169 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: irrigation canals and the waterways that are set up to 170 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: provide water to the almond trees, and so they're spreading rapidly. 171 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: What a rat sounds like is that it according to 172 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: YouTube that. 173 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 4: According to YouTube, rat sound effect. 174 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: Is that a rat and heat or that's what animals 175 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: make most of their cool noises, is when they're in 176 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: heat and they're showing off for guys, showing off to 177 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: the women. 178 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh, that that almost sounds like nails on a 179 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 5: chalkboard to me. 180 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 2: Ears. 181 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: Apparently, some farmers are losing fifty percent of their almonds 182 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: even though they're trapping one hundred a day. Economic losses 183 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: are going to be anywhere from one hundred to three 184 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars because they're destroying the drip lines for 185 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: irrigation and there's going to be far fewer almonds. 186 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: Now, why'd you. 187 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 5: Say I was the problem. I don't bring rats to 188 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 5: these places. 189 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: Oh, you're the problem because because the almonds are absorbed, well, 190 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: the almond farmers use so much water. 191 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, but what does that have to do with rats? 192 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: When I when I get told I can only take 193 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: a five minute shower? Remember that? Yeah, Jerry Brown? Five minutes. Well, 194 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: if people didn't eat almonds, we wouldn't have to live 195 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: under those restricts. 196 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what if there were burger farms and they 197 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: need to water water all the meat. 198 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: There are burger farms, they're called cattle farms, and you 199 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: know that they do have to spend a lot of 200 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,479 Speaker 1: money on water. I imagine, right. 201 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't hear you complaining about that. 202 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: Well, because burgers are necessary. 203 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: Well, so we're almonds they're not. Yeah, they really are 204 00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: only for vegans. 205 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: It because you don't eat my shells, but we don't. 206 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: I don't think the cattle use up eleven percent of 207 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: the water. They Uh, so they're trying to kill the 208 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: rats with bait stations, fume against an oulo boxes. But 209 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: all this all costs a lot of money, and actually 210 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: nobody knows what to do about it, especially when it 211 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: gets warmer. When it's warmer, they breed more. 212 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: They got to sterilize them. 213 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, is that true with humans? I don't know when 214 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: when it gets warmer do humans breed more? 215 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 5: I used to think it was when it was colder, 216 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 5: because people wouldn't go out her down. 217 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: And yeah, you wear less clothes in the summer though, Ye, 218 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 4: I'm trying to think. 219 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 6: Uh. 220 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: I was conceived in the in the fall, just as 221 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: it was getting colder. So is my brother. My parents 222 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: had a favorite time of year because he and I 223 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: were both born in June, early June. Yeah, so there 224 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: must be one week that. Yeah, my dad would get riled. 225 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 2: Up, John t am I. 226 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Did you ever hear hear your parents? 227 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: Yes? 228 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: You did. 229 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: It was disgusting, it was traumatic, really yes. And I 230 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 2: would hear the bed. I would hear the bed banging 231 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: against the wall. And the crazy thing is my parents divorced. 232 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: Maybe mom was hitting her head too hard. 233 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have explained a lot of things. Did 234 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: you ever hear yours? 235 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: Not, not specifically the moment, but there was a ritual, 236 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: and I knew it was coming because I used to 237 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: stay up very late at night, even as a little kid, 238 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: and I watched television and my parents had built an 239 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: extra room over the garage, a couple of rooms away 240 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: from where I was watching TV. But I could hear 241 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: they always kept the door open in their bedroom. It 242 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: was a few stairs over the garage. And then during 243 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, mating season, i'd hear somebody gently walk 244 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: down the stairs and they'd pull the door close. And 245 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: then after about I don't know, twenty minutes, I hear 246 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: somebody walk down the stairs and open the door. And 247 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: it took a little while, but I finally figured out 248 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: what was going on. But I never actually heard any 249 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: moaning or yelling or anything. I wouldn't do an impression 250 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: for my brother what I thought was going on. 251 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: Oh, let's hear it. 252 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: No, No, then it would be too much information. All right, Okay, 253 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: you know that's my my fourteen year old interpretation of 254 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: what was going on. But you never walked in. 255 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: On anything, did you I did not, Thank goodness, did. 256 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: This like keep you up? 257 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? 258 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: It was loud, and then make matters worse when my 259 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 2: dad he never listens to me, so I could say 260 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: this when my dad got remarried, Yeah, I heard that too. 261 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: Different because my dad's a little horn dog. 262 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: So you were living with him for the second marriage. 263 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 5: I wasn't, but I was a kid, so I would 264 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 5: go to his house every other week out I see, 265 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 5: And so I mean, I guess they had to do 266 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 5: it when I was there. 267 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 268 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: Well, they're newlyweds, No, they were, Yeah, yeah, you know. 269 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's very true. 270 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: At the beginning. There's like a strong run of activity 271 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: until the tape. 272 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: And my parents were only married for twelve years. 273 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: I see, I see. So what was the difference between 274 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: the two noises? 275 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 2: I didn't hear the bed banging against the wall. I 276 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: heard noises, okay, and that was worse because it wasn't 277 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: even my mom. 278 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Jesus, don't ask. 279 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: Me questions, but you answer those, diarrhea. 280 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: You answer those. I know, you know a lot of 281 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: people would have found a way not to talk about it, 282 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: but you told us I'm in a mood, Okay, not 283 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: that mood. 284 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: But the mood. 285 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: Remember when we were talking about almonds. Yeah, oh right, almonds. 286 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: I was trying to figure remember what we were doing. 287 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: Somehow we ended up in your dad's bedroom twice. 288 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: Different bedroom stead of houses. 289 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: That's quite a terry brought us on. Thank you. I 290 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: am all right. 291 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 292 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 4: six forty. 293 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: We're on every day from what is it one to 294 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: four and then after four o'clock John Cobel Show on 295 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: demand on the iHeart app and you can catch up 296 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: on what you missed. The parent company of KTLA Channel 297 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: five has teamed up with Emerson College to poll California 298 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: voters and they're already doing presidential polling and they're also 299 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: doing polling for California governor, which is in twenty twenty six, 300 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: that far away. Now it's what is it, just fifteen 301 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: months and there's nobody doing well in the polling. Really, 302 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: it's they have a collection of names, and I guarantee 303 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: you two thirds of these names you've never heard of, 304 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: although they most of them do have or have or 305 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: have had some semi responsible position government. But missus potato 306 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: Head is at the top of the list missus potato 307 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: head Katie Porter, who recently was a congresswoman and then 308 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: wiped out running for Senate. I mean she ended up 309 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: in third behind Steve Garvey. I mean, Katie Porter is 310 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: eighteen percent of the vote. Now there's no other Democrat 311 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: in double digits. She's the only one. Second among the 312 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: Democrats is Tony Vallar and he's even me. He's only 313 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: got five percent. This guy has been around. When did 314 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: he first get elected mayor? I'm two thousand and five, 315 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: I think so. He's been in the public eye for 316 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: twenty years and has made virtually no impact in California. Wow, 317 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: five percent, and among Democrats he's second. What they did 318 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: is they threw all the names into a big basket Republican, Democratic, 319 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: and Independent, and some of these people haven't even declared 320 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: their candidacy. The top Republican is a guy you may 321 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: not have heard of unless you watch Fox News. His 322 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: name is Steve Hilton. Steve Hilton grew up in Great 323 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: Britain and ended up being the director of strategy for 324 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: the British Prime Minister David Cameron back from twenty ten 325 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: to twenty twelve. He then became a Fox News post 326 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: had a show called The Next Revolution which ran for 327 00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: six years, and he has a British accent and he 328 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: says a lot of a lot of interesting stuff. But 329 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: I think outside Fox News, I don't think it's particularly 330 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: well known. Twelve percent of the vote. Chad Bionco is 331 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: the Republican who's number two, and he's the he's the 332 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: sheriff from Riverside County. We've had him on quite a 333 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: few times. He's at seven percent. And again, this is 334 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: both parties all their nominees in one basket, because that's 335 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: how the primary is going to run. They call it 336 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: a jungle primary. Everybody runs in one primary and then 337 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: the top two go on to the finals in November. 338 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: So you can get two Republicans, you can get two Democrats. 339 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: You can't get you know, one of each, you don't know. 340 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: And then Rick Caruso has not announced he's running for governor. 341 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: Is it four percent and nobody else is about four percent? 342 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: All the all the retread names, all these wannabes, these 343 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: these losers, these refugees from the Newsomb administration. Three percent 344 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: or less. It's it's not even worth saying their names. 345 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: But I see, like one, two, three, four members of 346 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: either the NEWSOB administration. Yeah, four fourer members. One of 347 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: them dropped out. The Lieutenant governor Lany Kunolakis. 348 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: She wants to be treasurer. 349 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because she's got three percent and she was 350 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: one of the biggest fundraisers. She raised millions of dollars 351 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: and she got three percent out of it. So, you know, 352 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: smart enough to pack up her bags and the rest 353 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: of them should too. Not None of these people, Like 354 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: if I say their names right now, it's possible it's 355 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: the last time you're ever going to hear their names. 356 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: Tony Thurmont, Like, who's that He's in charge of the 357 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: worst public school system in the country. Yeah, he's the 358 00:23:54,440 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: California Superintendent of Schools. He's running for governor. I think 359 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: that had no sense of self awareness. It's like, you're 360 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: running the worst public school system in the nation and 361 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: you want to run the whole state. Or maybe it's 362 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: just that people say, well do some did it? Uh? Yeah, 363 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: I want to go. Stephen Klubeck has got two percent. 364 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: We've had him on the show a couple of times. 365 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: He's the businessman. So the two business guys gruesome kluebec 366 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: have six percent between them, and then we've got missus 367 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: potato head. 368 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: Kamala should have stayed in the race. 369 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, but she doesn't really want to work that hard. Really, 370 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't. I don't think she 371 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: wanted to do the day to day work of being governor. 372 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: Obviously, because look she would. She was always in the lead. 373 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: I know. Now for the presidential nomination, now, this is 374 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 1: just California voters. Newsom is leading with twenty three percent, 375 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: followed by Pete Buddhajetch and seventeen percent. Good lord, and 376 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: Kamala is still third and eleven percent. Although that's pretty bad. 377 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. These are California voters. President Harrison and 378 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: then oh god, AOC is nine percent. That's on the 379 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: Democrat side. The Republican side, JD. Vance has forty. Robert 380 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: Kennedy is second at ten percent. He's not even a Republican. 381 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: Now here are some job approval ratings numbers, and it's 382 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: just if these are anywhere accurate, and you never know 383 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: with Poland it's like I swear, I don't know if 384 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: all these people have had lobotomies, or we have to 385 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: start giving people lobotomies Newsom has a forty four percent 386 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: job approval rating, which is actually pretty low, except his 387 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: disapproval rating is only thirty eight percent. Really so, so 388 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: over sixty percent either approve or are neutral about him. 389 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: What else does he need to do? That's what I'm wondering. 390 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: What else do these people have to do to convince 391 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: you that they should be escorted out of government and 392 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: taken away maybe the Al Salvador because they're so bad 393 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: and they damage the states so much. I mean, there's 394 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: still people willing to pull a lever for Newsom and 395 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. Trump has a thirty percent approval rating, and 396 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything I don't think there's anything 397 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: else interesting in this. But we really have we have 398 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: a stupid voting population. I don't know how else to 399 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: say it. We just have a really stupid and that's 400 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: why the government's so bad. And that's why you have, 401 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: you know, seventy thousand homeless people in La County. That's 402 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: why you have the highest tax, That's why the gas 403 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: prices are a dollar fifty more than any other state. 404 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: That's why energy prices are double the rest of the country. 405 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: You wonder why it's like what does it take people? 406 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: What is it with? Any one of these issues would 407 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: normally sink a governor in any other state. Housing prices 408 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: are at the top of the charts right, record high 409 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: expensive housing, record high expensive gas, record high expensive energy. 410 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: By a lot, It's not even close. It's double all 411 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: the crime we've had because they wouldn't prosecute to criminals anymore. 412 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: The homelessness, all the stolen money, the high speed rail 413 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: stolen money, the the the homeless, stolen money because there's 414 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: twenty four billion missing from the state, the thirty billions 415 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: stolen from the unemployment program during COVID, all of that, 416 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: all the draconian COVID restrictions that most other states state 417 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: and have that destroyed thousands of businesses, kept kids out 418 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: of school for a year and a half. I mean, 419 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: he is been a bulldozer ruining people's lives. He still 420 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: gets forty four percent approval read that's fascinating. It's like, 421 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: I want like a study of these people's brains. Every 422 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: NEWSOM voter should be put into an MRI tube and 423 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: I honestly, if there's something defect, maybe there's a virus 424 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: that everybody caught in the STAD. Maybe there's something in 425 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: the water that the bacteria settled in people's brains.

Melissa is hoping 484 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: by sharing their experience, more people can be aware of 485 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: the dangers. 486 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 6: There's a lot of coyotes. I mean, I've seen them 487 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 6: in the street driving, but I never thought they would 488 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 6: be so close to us, you know, And for a 489 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 6: lot of people to be there and still a coyote 490 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 6: to go to the playground and attack them, it's very 491 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 6: shocking to me. 492 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: Melissa tells us.

Yeah, 505 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: except the coyotes can't get used to children and dogs 506 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: and they do snatch them. I mean, coyotes eat dogs 507 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: every night, and cats too. When we first moved to 508 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: watch it, first first day I spent in California, they 509 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: put us up at the in Burbank. What was the 510 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: name of that, It was really well known, it was 511 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: Oakwood Apartments. We stayed here three weeks before took over 512 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: on KFI. First night I woke up in the state 513 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: of California. First night, I'm here in all kinds of 514 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: howling what is that. Oh, it's the coyotes. They're eating 515 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: local pets. They're eating cats and dogs and or you know, 516 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: rabbits that they find. And then when we moved to 517 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: the hills on the west Side, same thing we had. 518 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: We had coyotes and they would whip themselves into a frenzy, 519 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, like four or five of them at once 520 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: and shred some poor local cat. 521 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,479 Speaker 2: You don't need to describe it. 522 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: Do you do. Do you still hear that in your neighborhood? 523 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. It's horrible. 524 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: So with you know, some idiot on TV goings you know, 525 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: it's actually very rare. 526 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 2: It's like, shut up, good thing. I didn't say it's 527 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 2: very rare. 528 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: You don't say it's very rare. Okay, Well, because you know, 529 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff goes unreported. The number of 530 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: cats and dogs that I heard probably a dozens. I 531 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: never called animal shelters or animal welfare about it. 532 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 2: I'm just amazed people in my neighborhood, as I said, 533 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 2: so many coyotes constantly, and it doesn't matter what time 534 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 2: of day or night it is, they still leave their 535 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: dogs out. And I just don't I don't get it. 536 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: I really don't so we've got coyotes. We have red 537 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: tailed hawks have moved in.
